• On the post: Sharron Angle Insists She's Going To Sue Harry Reid For His Reposting Of Angle's Own Website

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 09 Jul, 2010 @ 01:29pm

  Again, the hypocrites on this site (commenter wise) are idiots. These people are on here ALWAYS applauding this site for pointing out situations like this yet now that their idiotic right-wing candidate has done something stupid, they are completely unable to look at the reality of the situation
  
  Rather than understand the situation, they look at it with their bias glasses on and seem like morons trying to justify it
  
  Angle is going to get killed in court

• On the post: Users Revolt Over Blizzard's Requirement Of 'Real Names' In Forum Comments

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 09 Jul, 2010 @ 01:27pm

  Of course they revolted....they are mad that they can't insult others now without their name being attached to the comments
  
  It sickens them that they have to have accountability with their actions
  
  Sad!

• On the post: Newspaper Wants You To Pay To Comment

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 09 Jul, 2010 @ 01:24pm

  I hope they make changes as well though I do not know how to solve the problem
  
  But, the main paper that I go to allows all comments without moderation and the site has turned into just terrible comments....all around....racist comments and insults everywhere....it is killing the site

• On the post: Time Magazine's New Paywall? Buy The Paper Version Or The iPad Version To Read

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 07 Jul, 2010 @ 12:58pm

  I enjoy reading Time but they are kidding themselves if they think that people will pay for their content.
  
  Absolutely kidding themselves

• On the post: Senate Candidate Angle Accuses Senator Reid Of Copyright Infringement For Displaying Angle's Website

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 06 Jul, 2010 @ 12:46pm

  Got to love politics This is one of the dumbest threats I have seen in decades yet the same people who are usually on here BLASTING these types of people are suddenly supporting Angle....why? Because she is a Republican and they are unable to even slightly admit their own constant stupidity

• On the post: White House: Here's $795M For Broadband; Congress: Wait, We Want $602M Of That For War

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 04 Jul, 2010 @ 12:37pm

  I am not sure why anyone would think that we are actually taking the NEXT step towards future broadband.
  
  I have FiOS and applaud them for me insanely solid and quick service but other companies will continue stretching out what they have WHILE charging more and lying about how upgraded their service is

• On the post: Concrete Company Sues Woman For Posting Negative Review On Angie's List

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 04 Jul, 2010 @ 12:35pm

  Ashame that the woman will have to pay for the court costs to battle a suit that will get laughed out of court

• On the post: Why iPhone Broadband Caps Aren't Actually A 'Good Deal'

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 04 Jul, 2010 @ 12:32pm

  I have been grandfathered into the old iPhone plan when I got the iPhone4 but I bet that the iPhone5 will FORCE people into the new plan.
  
  AT&T is promoting everyone to use their data more yet for some odd reason (sarcastic tone) they want to charge those users more and more and more for it.
  
  It is pathetic and the minute the AT&T give me a laughably low cap, I will ditch for a new phone/carrier....period

• On the post: Broadband Is Now A Legal Right In Finland

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 04 Jul, 2010 @ 12:29pm

  How dare the government try to better their people! They should let EVERYONE who can't pay for the best internet all starve like we do! Screw everyone but me!

• On the post: Hulu CEO So Careful Not To Upset Cable Companies, He Might Just Destroy His Own Business

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 04 Jul, 2010 @ 12:29pm

  I will not pay for this at the moment as they do not have enough shows to warrant the $10 a month and Netflix suits me just fine.
  
  If they add more and cut the price, maybe.....I doubt they will see THAT many additions

• On the post: Where Is The Evidence That Kicking People Off The Internet For File Sharing Is Needed?

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 27 Jun, 2010 @ 12:37pm

  There is none. Nobody looks at these laughable lawsuits against grandmothers and thinks anything but how stupid these media companies look like going after their own consumers.
  
  It shows how utterly clueless these admin are at the MPAA and others.
  
  With them at the helm, we will see piracy continue to grow.

• On the post: Yet Another Person, Upset With Search Result Snippets, Sues Yahoo

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 27 Jun, 2010 @ 12:35pm

  I do feel bad for people like this. Things of this nature that have NO FOUNDATION (again, that is IF this person is in fact not guilty of anything) do hurt people applying for jobs, etc....
  
  I guess I have a bit of a personal interest as I myself look quite bad if you do a search for my name but thankfully everyone at work knows that it is NOT ME on the searches and I already have a job

• On the post: Will Viacom/YouTube Ruling Lead To More Takedowns And Fewer Fair Use Reviews?

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 27 Jun, 2010 @ 12:33pm

  What is comical is seing the media industry sue single users such as little kids or grandmothers and even SLIGHTLY think that is is going to deter a single soul from doing what they are doing
  
  It shows how truly stupid these people are and clueless they are with the tech industry.
  
  They aren't even slightly detering the actions that the media industry want to stop. Not even slightly

• On the post: Sports Journalist Blames Fat, Cheeto-Eating Bloggers For The Decline Of His Trade

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 17 Apr, 2010 @ 09:26am

  Good for Jason
  
  He is spot on
  
  We cry about athletes not being honest with us yet then complain when they say even the SLIGHTEST controversial thing even when it isn't even slightly controversial

• On the post: Hollywood Threatens To Stop Selling DVDs In Spain In A Push To Increase Unauthorized File Sharing?

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 03 Apr, 2010 @ 05:30pm

  Brilliant move Now, everyone who wants the movies will still see the movies but instead of Hollywood getting a sizeable amount of money from it...they will get none Brilliant

• On the post: Israeli Supreme Court Says There Is No Legal Way To Reveal Anonymous Commenters Online

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 03 Apr, 2010 @ 05:27pm

  I would personally like to see more identification to certain sites I am not saying everyone should have their name by them but I do think that the Internet has produced some absolutely terrible comments that we ALL KNOW would not be said if someones name was attached to it. Many younger kids would probably be a LOT more respectful

• On the post: CyberDefender Threatens Consumer Advocate With Defamation Claim

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 03 Apr, 2010 @ 05:24pm

  If you want to win a case like this, they better have a LOT more evidence where their company is being bashed because just from what I see here....they will get laughed out of court

• On the post: NBC Tells Concerned Senator That Its Olympics Coverage Was Great… According To Itself

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 03 Apr, 2010 @ 05:20pm

  Who didn't love already knowing the scores of games before they were played? I know I did..... Like, if we are talking about on the other side of the world, I get holding off because it would have been shown at 3am But holding off due to 2-3 hours? What a joke

• On the post: What Can We Blame Next On YouTube? How About Unauthorized Software Copying?

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 03 Apr, 2010 @ 05:18pm

  YouTube needs to first hire about 10k more people to deal with the comments section of most videos.
  
  It is juvenile lunatics run wild

• On the post: Murdoch Puts Up Some More Paywalls

  

  DanVan ( profile ), 27 Mar, 2010 @ 08:47pm

  I will be surprised if this works
  
  I do the opposite of what most do. I pay for local or specialized content (like Rivals.com) but I refuse to pay for any national content as too many free, good sites offer news nationally that I can find
